Winners of Round 2 (June 2010)


Prompt

Most Memorable Vacation

The story can be real or fictional. You may start from the preparation of the journey, or you can lead me straight to the holiday spot. You could be on a tropical island or a Swiss resort or anything else that you can think of. It can be memorable for all the right reasons or the wrong. You could meet the man of your dreams, or the clerk at the hotel reception could tell you that she doesn't have a booking, the agent refuses to answer your frantic phone calls, and your credit card doesn't work. In short, you have a blank canvas to paint upon.

Winners of Round 3 (July 2010)


Prompt


SPORTS

I am keenly following the World Cup, which I sincerely believe is the biggest spectacle on Earth. In honor of this magnificent event, SPORTS will be the theme of this month's contest.

Give a me a story that revolves around sports. It need NOT necessarily be football. You can write the story from the 'Point of View' of the athlete or the spectator. It could be about a girl who reverses a debilitating physical affliction by swimming or a man who pays for his child's surgery by winning a boxing match or anything else that you may think of. The only condition is that your story should have some physical sport (not Chess or Bridge*Smirk*) as an integral component.

Winners of Round 4 (Aug 2010)


Prompt


A Blonde Woman

I want to read a story in which one of the central characters is a blonde woman. Use your creativity and spin a story which transports me to the world of this woman where I can see and feel how she looks, laughs, talks or kills! The woman can be an angel or a vamp. She may be of any age or nationality. You may make her slim, voluptuous or fat. In short, you have the license to create the character the way you deem fit. As long as she is blonde, anything goes.

Two entries have won the Joint 1st Place in this round. There will be no 2nd Place.

Winners of Round 5 (Sep 2010)


Prompt


Student Days

Oh, to be a student again! Those carefree days of gay abandon. Nights of stargazing and lofty dreams. Memories of the first crush. The exquisite pain of the first heartbreak. The mad scramble for grades. The trials, the tribulations and the mindless competition. The fun, the games, the pranks and the fights. Rare will be that person for whom those days do not conjure bouts of nostalgia. This round, I want a tale based upon student life.

I leave it to you to decide the course of your story. You could choose to write about school or college or about the seventy year old who receives divine inspiration and starts music classes. Your offering could be about the joy or the struggle. It could be about relationships formed or dreams shattered. You could dwell upon studies or prom nights. In short, you have the complete liberty to let your muse flow.

Winners of Round 6 (Oct 2010)


Prompt


Encounter With A Stranger

The only restriction is that the so called 'Stranger' has to be human. I have nothing against fantasy characters, and I read and write a lot about them. However, I have decided to restrict this round of the contest to 'Homo-Sapiens' only.

So, create a good backdrop for the encounter, sketch an unforgettable character and spin a story around the meeting. Of course, you have the liberty to create a negative character. It doesn't put your story at a disadvantage as long as it holds my interest. Also, any genre is acceptable.
